Bring your model to the network
Use Core Node to participate as a provider, with explicit control over serving.
Start with Core Node
Core Node owns the local model experience. Download Desktop Core Node for Windows or Mac from the OptimAI Network site, then sign in with your OptimAI account. Version 2.0.17 and later can serve Router requests.
Choose a supported model
Choose a model supported by Router and suitable for your computer. A model appearing in a discovery catalog does not mean every edition can be served.
The selected artifact revision must match Router’s enabled edition. Core Node may need to download or activate the current revision before Router observes the computer as ready.
Review pricing
Guided setup checks your computer, prepares and tests a model, then shows Pricing. Keep the suggested rates or edit them. Continue saves prices for the selected model before serving starts. Suggestions are starting points, not guaranteed earnings.
Start serving
Explicitly opt into serving. Keep Core Node running and connected. A saved serving setting is a preference; observed readiness establishes whether your computer can accept work.
New paid assignments and readiness Points also require Network's shared earning eligibility. Review readiness and Points if the computer is connected but new earning is unavailable.
Publish an optional offer
After saving model pricing, you can create a public profile and publish individual offers for developers to choose. New offers start unpublished. Publication is separate from Serving and is not required for Auto eligibility. No administrator approval is required; ownership, model, price, and capacity checks still apply.
Manage your computer
Use My computers to inspect your enrolled computers and supported serving controls. The web dashboard cannot start an offline app or wake a sleeping computer.
